EARTH'S GARDEN SI'OT
The South fu the days before the civil
war was peopled by only three clasaca:
the large planters, who owned and con-
trolled all the availablf lands; the small
tenant farmers, who were doomed to re-
ntair in a state of serai-poverty so long
as the conditions existed, and the
slaves, a happy, ignorant, careless horde,
Jiving only In anticipation of meal-time
and evening revelry.
The planter, through inheritance, had
come into possession of immense area of
arable and timbered tracts, and bis
slaves could work out of this an easy,
comfortable living for tbe small village
wbich usually constituted the iartn set
tlement. He was almost as a feudal
baron in the number of his subjects, and
do Scotch laird was ever invested with
more absolute power over bis clan than
was the ante-bellum planter over Ida
people.
’Tie best that an end has come to tills
•condition of affairs, else this section was
•in a fair way to come to tbe vendetta
state of the Sicilian Islands. Family
liatreds were bequeathed from father to
eon, and the accepted code of honor ad
mltted of no medium betwen the foe
tioni.
And yet, cultured, pleasure-loving and
courageous as were' tbe older genera
tions, they have passed away to give
place to a nobler, set of men. Hen who
realize and profit by the mistakes of
their fathers and grandfathers. Hen
who have made this lovely Southland of
ours great in wealth and importance.
Who recognized the fact that the divine
hand was laid with kindness npon this
arcadian spot, and when tbe smoke of
battle had rolled away they buried their
dead and went to work to rear upon the
ashes of a desolated section a mighty
fabric of modern civilization, even
while the heart was yet heavy with grief
and despair. Nobly did they succeed,
compelling the world to admit apd res
pect a courage and perieveranoe, in tbe
face of almost insurmountable difficul
ties, which are unparalleled In the annals
of history.' ,
Endowed by nature with unlimited re
sources and unsurpassed climate, this
section I* drawing to itself the tide of
Immigration which has for so long
flowed westward. The world is realiz
ing that a locality capable of such vast
development under snob ndvenslty and
poverty, mast of necesslty'hold forth iu-
duoements to the experienced Worker
and capitalist. And marvelous as was
the progress In all commercial enter
prises daring tbe past ten year*, the
next decade will witness a growth In
population and Improvement unheard of
In this country.
Piiesident Hardison yesterday ap
pointed Stephen b. Elkins of Maine to
the oablnet portfolio of Secretary of
War, until recently held by Sec
relary Proctor. To some, Elkins’ ap
pointment to tbe vacancy seems to mean
the withdrawal of Blaine’s claims to the
republican nomination next year, but
the newly appointed cabinet officer's un
solicited avowal that hts acceptance will
have no effect upon cither Mr. Harrison
or the Plumed Knight may mean that
he la anxious to forestall any criticism
upon his action In so taking the proffer
ed place, in case Blaine, of whom he la
known to be a warm perronal friend,
should next year enter the lists againat
the present incumbent of tbe presiden
tial chair.

Speaker Crisp has not yet announced
the chairman of the ways and njeuns
committee of the house, though he has
by this time probably settled his
man for the place, and it Is likely that
Mr. Springer of Illinois will be the lucky
member. No better selection could be
made, as the northwestern representa
tive Is peouliarly fitted for the post and
la in direct accordance with tbe conserv
ative methodf of tariff reform,
whioh will make this term of
Speaker Crisp's ruling a notable
one. Although the plum would nat
urally fall to Mr. Mills, that gentleman's
avowed candidacy for the vacant sena
torshlp In his own state bars his ac
ceptance, and furthermore, his pro
nounced and premature views upon
free trade would make of him a dan
gerous member upon a committee upon
whom there is throwu such vast respon
sibility.
But Mr. Mills seems to have so taken
to heart bis defeat by tbe Georgia giant
that he appears to be bent upon making
liimself disngreeablo by sulking in bis
tent

“The road to fortune is through print
ers’ ink.—P. T. Barnum.
Don’t be a spider
and crawl in these days! Why
not keep up with the nineteenth
century? You would not buy a
■team engine made like those of
a century ago. Then why should
yon buy the old-faahioned, big,
drastio pills that gripe and debili
tate your system? (
As great improvements havo been
made in pills as in steam engines.
Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are
tiny, sugar-coated granules, or pills,
are easiest to take, and never gripe
or shock the system.
They are purely vegetable and
perfeotlv harmless.
One little Pellet’s a laxative, three
to four are cathartic. They regu
late and cleanse the liver, stomach
and bowels — quickly, but thor
oughly. They’re the cheapest pill,
sold by druggists, because you only
pay for the good you get. They’re
guaranteed to give satisfaction,
every time, or yonr money is re
turned. That’s the peculiar plan
all Dr. fierce’s medicines are sold
on.

Some of the Northern newspapers are
publishing statements, alleged to have
been authorized by interviews with Mr.
Cleveland, declaring that he will not iu
any way work for the nomination for
the presidency In 1802, and some even
go no far as to say that If It bo tendered
him he will not accent. They claim that
Mr. Cleveland has Instructed his friends
to do no canyaasiug in bis behalf. These
reports ate without doubt false from be-
j ginning tn cud, and originate among the
enemies of the ex-president in New York
city.
